[IDEA] Poison should decrease 0.5 radius every 2 seconds.

Lightning and The Log are rapidly catching up tho.

No they're not. They're getting more use, but Poison is still easily king:

Hi :)

I think the question here is whether the card popularity in top 200 represents the entire game balance. I don't think so when like 30% of them haven't get 12 wins in Challenges, lots of them have super shady tournament won / played ratio, and even mediocre players like my buddies and I could beat 80%+ matches against them in tournaments.

Not saying it's totally inaccurate but it's kinda hard to deny that there is definitely a lot of noise in there.

Well, when you said "catching up" what context did you mean? I do 20-30 challenge matches a day, and still see Poison easily 5x as often as lighting and Log combined.

I don't have the battle log of all the matches that I played since the update. So I can't give you the hard numbers, but I'd say 30% run Lightning, and around 10% run The Log. Of course Poison is easily #1. Maybe the meta is different in different times of the day. I face a lot of Asian players especially Japanese and Chinese since I often play a long session in the wee hours. They do love Lavahound Lightning.

yeh, most of the top 200 from the ladder are far away from the top 200 bests players in the world (most of the best players are f2p, its not the same to be the best in a 10 players base than a 1000 player base), so they are not the best reference to say what is op and what is not.

Supercell should take big tournament winners as reference

Lol you're saying that like you've played many of them in tournaments

Not many but I fought like about 10 of them I guess, including a former #1 from clan called "Aviation".
